A 3D biped with knees and a hip is naturally modeled as a nontrivial hybrid system; impacts occur when the knee strikes and when the foot impacts the ground causing a switch in the...
Human control of multiple robots has been characterized by the average demand of single robots on human attention or the distribution of demands from multiple robots. When robots ...
Abstract. Switching linear dynamic systems (SLDS) attempt to describe a complex nonlinear dynamic system with a succession of linear models indexed by a switching variable. Unfortu...
The first functional load-carrying and energetically autonomous exoskeleton was demonstrated at U.C. Berkeley, walking at the average speed of 0.9 m/s (2 mph) while carrying a 34 ...
Abstract. We apply model checking of knowledge properties to the design of distributed controllers that enforce global constraints on concurrent systems. We calculate when processe...
